  1. A great actor, and his description of depression is easily understood by thoose who share the affliction (like myself).

    PS: "In Treatment" is an awesome show.

  2. This is a good talk even if you do not know the actor, like myself.

    It's riveting. Notice at the end. After a remarkably open-minded interview considering that the interviewer is religious and Gabriel is an atheist, the interviewer asks Gabriel what he would say to St. Peter if he got to heaven and found he had been in error. The interviewer obviously is looking for a 'eat crow' sort of image to end the interview. Gabriel pauses. I lean in. I'm sure you will too. Then his answer. (Watch the video.)
